As a fullstack dev working with c#/.net backend and react frontend, I can say that c# is great, and I wished more projects would use it. <rant> Unfortunately, I agree that Microsoft was too late in realization that it is important to make it easier for developers and that they need to cater to the devs, instead of getting in their ways and making it harder for devs. The visual studio pro is still expensive (it should be FREE! community ed doesn't count) and still not as good as Jetbrain's Rider, which runs circle on VS. In fact, if MS had any sense, they should've bought Jetbrain just for Rider and scrap their bloated/slow visual studio, which only runs on Windows. MS needs to improve their tooling and also make VS for Linux if they want c# to be taken seriously for cross-platform dev. And stop changing the platforms and remove their absolute convoluted naming scheme. Why do we have .NET core which is now .NET 6, .NET framework is now supported and deprecated at the same time, desktop apps were written in WPF, and then UWP? and MAUI, and now is it called WinUI3? I have no idea because I can't keep track of changes anymore. One day it's called .net, who knows in few years it's going to be .azure, or whatever. </rant>
